Moviles
April 28, 2005
Alcatel announced that it has been selected by Telefónica Móviles,
a Spanish mobile operator, as a supplier for its 3G/UMTS network.
Under the terms of the agreement, Alcatel will supply and install
3G/UMTS radio based stations, called Evolium Node I, which are particularly
suited to "closed environments" and Indoor Broadband traffic.
Alcatel is providing Telefónica Móviles with its
multi-standard Evolium solution comprising a compact and easy-to-install
UMTS radio access node. The Alcatel Evolium Nodes I are HSDPA-ready
and provide a logical means of enhancing communication speeds with
HSDPA technology, a key factor for avant-garde 3G applications that
are particularly popular with business users, ensuring exceptional
quality of service in closed environments.
The Alcatel solution will enable mobile end users, whether in shopping
centers, corporate buildings, underground areas and car parks, train
and bus stations or airports, to access to all Telefónica
Móviles' 3G broadband services.
"We are proud that Telefónica Móviles is becoming
one of our major partners in Europe having selected Alcatel's 3G/UMTS
radio solution", said Marc Rouanne, Chief Operating Officer
of Alcatel Mobile Communications activities. "Through its exclusive
service partnering with DoCoMo Engineering in 3G indoor coverage,
Alcatel is uniquely positioned for the efficient roll-out of 3G
broadband access solutions".
